ADA Violations
Americans with Disabilities Act Claims
The attorneys at The Law Office of Bradley Johnson are dedicated to fighting for the rights of individuals who suffer discrimination because of their disability. Disability discrimination occurs when an entity treats an individual unfavorably because of a physical or mental impairment.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a landmark federal law that specifically prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, public accommodations, and other areas of life.
What defines a "Disability"?
The ADA defines “disability” as any physical, mental, or medical impairment that affects one or more body systems and limits a major life activity. This includes:
- ● Genetic diseases
- ● Anatomical losses
- ● Physiological disorders
- ● Cosmetic disfigurements
- ● Learning disabilities
- ● Mental or emotional illness
Reasonable Accommodations
Employers and public establishments must provide reasonable accommodations to assist with a disabled individual's physical or mental limitations, unless the accommodation would be an undue hardship.
Examples of reasonable accommodations include modifying equipment, restructuring duties, adjusting work schedules, or making the workplace readily accessible.
Need Legal Assistance?
If you believe you have been a victim of disability discrimination, you must act immediately. Claims are subject to strict time limits.
